SoCal artist Zooey Celeste , a new artist for your radar, has a new album produced by Nick Hakim , and will be sharing his dark, ethereal sound when he hits the stage at KCRW’s School Night in Hollywood, tonight.

Celeste tells us that the down-tempo sound of “Cosmic Being” “lived as a voice memo for years and then I brought it to Nick. Iit became another example of his taking something very small and intimate and giving it this huge amphitheater sound.”

Bay Area sextet The Seshen are in a unique place on their new album Nowhere.

The collective lays themselves on the line with vulnerable expressions of loss as they step into the unknown through the lens and expressive voice of lead singer Lalin St. Juste, who navigates the marriage and subsequent divorce of bandmate Aki Ehara. A tribute to growth and transformation, we turn to the title track “Nowhere.”

Belfast-born DJ and producer David Holmes has made an impact on over 30 film and TV soundtracks and has lorded over thousands of dance floors, not to mention produced recordings for artists including Primal Scream and Orbital. No wonder his last solo album came out in 2008. But don’t fret, that’s about to change in November when his new full-length Blind On A Galloping Horse strides in. But before we go there, let’s check out “Necessary Genius” (Feat. Raven Violet) to hear who made the cut.

For his 11th studio album, Devendra Banhart turned to the whimsical Welsh artist and producer Cate Le Bon — who also happens to have produced Wilco’s latest album Evicted — as both artists explore new territory on their LPs. Devendra expanded his sound on Flying Wig with bold synth-strokes and pristine production, keeping his ears on his vocals as you’ll notice on “Nun.”

Ready to party? Yesssss indeed! Let’s take in the hypnotic sound of Wajatta , for whom we all come together to celebrate the duo of comedian/musician Reggie Watts and John Tejada, a vanguard of West Coast techno. “Waiting For The Get Down” feels like a Friday night on steroids.

You can feel that the artist Love Moor has a big heart, not only from the impression she left at her School Night debut just a few weeks ago, but for her NeoSoul palette. Today, you are destined to become a fan as Love Moor tips the balance on “Libra Scale” (Acoustic).

Let’s dive into the inner world of Luke Temple’s alter ego Art Feynman , who excels at eccentric music making with his shapeshifting and fluid tones as he inhabits the minds of his characters. An art rocker and popper, we are loving “Early Signs of Rhythm” for its worldbeat and Talking Heads/ Tom Tom Club vibes.

A new voice on the Latin scene, Adrie is Madrid-raised and Los Angeles-based. But on Today’s Top Tune, this artist issues a compelling track inspired by Japanese culture, in particular anime and origami art on ‘Japón,” off a forthcoming EP dropping early 2024.

The xx’s Romy hadn’t really considered herself a solo artist, though she wrote songs for others, until she slowly gained the confidence to go out on her own. Mid Air, Romy’s debut album, finds her working with three-time Grammy winning electronic producer Stuart Price, talented DJ Fred again, and xx bandmate Jamie xx for a frothy, ebullient mix. “loveher” celebrates the early stages of a new intimate relationship with a woman in an exceptional way.

London’s multidisciplinary artist and producer, Laura Misch , drops her long-awaited debut full-length on Friday, Sample The Sky, an album that compelled the artist to leave the confines of self-recording and connect to the outside world. “Listen To The Sky” serves as the nucleus of this collection of songs and resembles mother nature's patterns aurally.
